FEATURES
The tool that will become your best friend
Reach More, Do More
The Avant 400 series is equipped with a powerful telescopic boom, offering extra reach and lift height that’s rare in a loader this compact. Whether stacking pallets, loading trucks, or reaching over fences, the boom extends your capabilities without sacrificing stability.
This feature is especially valuable for landscaping, small construction, and farm work where maneuverability and lifting performance are both essential. With the boom retracted, load stability is optimized; extend only when needed for maximum efficiency and safety.
Compact but Capable
Don’t let the size fool you—the 400 series delivers impressive lifting power in a compact, easy-to-handle package. It’s ideal for working in tight spaces like yards, barns, or urban settings where larger machines just won’t fit.
Despite its small footprint, the 400 series can handle a wide range of demanding jobs. The articulated steering ensures smooth operation around obstacles, while the rigid articulation joint provides added stability and safety during lifting and turning.
Quick-Attach System for Fast Changeovers
Avant attachments have been designed to work as an equal partner on Avant loaders. The best machine-attachment combination and work efficiency can only be achieved when a good machine is fitted with attachments that are specifically designed for the machine. The dimensions, auxiliary hydraulics output and other features of Avant are in perfect balance with the attachments.
With Avant’s standard quick-attach plate and hydraulic multi-connector, swapping attachments is fast, clean, and foolproof. This means less downtime between tasks and more productivity throughout the day.
Whether switching from a bucket to a mower, or from a pallet fork to a flail mower, the operator can do it in minutes without tools or spills. It’s perfect for users with varied daily tasks or limited storage space.
User-Friendly Controls
The 400 series is built with simplicity and comfort in mind. Easy-to-learn controls, ergonomic layout, and excellent visibility make it ideal for less experienced operators or businesses with seasonal labor.
From the intuitive joystick boom control to smooth driving pedals, operating the 400 series feels natural and responsive. This ease of use boosts both efficiency and safety on the job.
